(#) Usage of Android Wear BIND_LISTENER is deprecated

!!! ERROR: Usage of Android Wear BIND_LISTENER is deprecated
   This is an error, and is also enforced at build time when
   supported by the build system. For Android this means it will
   run during release builds.

Id
:   `WearableBindListener`

BIND_LISTENER receives all Android Wear events whether the application
needs them or not. This can be inefficient and cause applications to
wake up unnecessarily. With Google Play Services 8.2.0 or later it is
recommended to use a more efficient combination of manifest listeners
and api-based live listeners filtered by action, path and/or path
prefix.

(##) Example

Here is an example of lint warnings produced by this check:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~text
src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:10:Error: The
com.google.android.gms.wearable.BIND_LISTENER action is deprecated
[WearableBindListener]
    &lt;action android:name="com.google.android.gms.wearable.BIND_LISTENER" /&gt;
            ------------------------------------------------------------
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here are the relevant source files:

`src/main/AndroidManifest.xml`:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~xml linenumbers
&lt;manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.helloworld" &gt;
    &lt;uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion="22" /&gt;
    &lt;application
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:allowBackup="false"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" &gt;
        &lt;service android:name=".WearMessageListenerService"&gt;
              &lt;intent-filter&gt;
                  &lt;action android:name="com.google.android.gms.wearable.BIND_LISTENER" /&gt;
              &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
        &lt;/service&gt;
    &lt;/application&gt;

&lt;/manifest&gt;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

`build.gradle`:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~groovy linenumbers
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

dependencies {
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-wearable:8.4.0'
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[source code](https://cs.android.com/android-studio/platform/tools/base/+/mirror-goog-studio-main:lint/libs/lint-tests/src/test/java/com/android/tools/lint/checks/ManifestDetectorTest.kt)
for the unit tests for this check to see additional scenarios.

The above example was automatically extracted from the first unit test
found for this lint check, `ManifestDetector.testWearableBindListener`.

(##) Suppressing

You can suppress false positives using one of the following mechanisms:

* Adding the suppression attribute
  `tools:ignore="WearableBindListener"` on the problematic XML element
  (or one of its enclosing elements). You may also need to add the
  following namespace declaration on the root element in the XML file
  if it's not already there:
  `xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"`.

  ```xml
  &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
  &lt;manifest xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"&gt;
      ...
      &lt;application tools:ignore="WearableBindListener" .../&gt;
    ...
  &lt;/manifest&gt;
  ```

* Using a special `lint.xml` file in the source tree which turns off
  the check in that folder and any sub folder. A simple file might look
  like this:
  ```xml
  &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
  &lt;lint&gt;
      &lt;issue id="WearableBindListener" severity="ignore" /&gt;
  &lt;/lint&gt;
  ```
  Instead of `ignore` you can also change the severity here, for
  example from `error` to `warning`. You can find additional
  documentation on how to filter issues by path, regular expression and
  so on
  [here](https://googlesamples.github.io/android-custom-lint-rules/usage/lintxml.md.html).

* In Gradle projects, using the DSL syntax to configure lint. For
  example, you can use something like
  ```gradle
  lintOptions {
      disable 'WearableBindListener'
  }
  ```
  In Android projects this should be nested inside an `android { }`
  block.

* For manual invocations of `lint`, using the `--ignore` flag:
  ```
  $ lint --ignore WearableBindListener ...`
  ```

* Last, but not least, using baselines, as discussed
  [here](https://googlesamples.github.io/android-custom-lint-rules/usage/baselines.md.html).
